Most pianists have had at least some challenges with memorization. I would like to encourage you to follow all of the memory tutorials (#1 - #4). Even though these memory practice methods can require a lot of patience and concentration, over time and with repetition, they should help. These exercises have benefited many students; best wishes on your piano journey! 🎵🎹🎼😊

You are welcome! 🎼😊

That is perfectly fine. Never force or over-extend your fingers; keep the movement/stretch gentle. It is always necessary to keep your hand relaxed; this will enable your fingers/thumb to extend further providing more results. Remember, the exercise is to train your hand for more movement and strength; it takes time and repetition. I would also like to recommend my tutorial "Beginning Piano Exercise - Preparation for Scales, Arpeggios, and More." Even if the "Preparation" exercise is easy for you, it will provide more ease for the arpeggio exercises. You are on the right track! 🎵

Yes, however the best way for you to learn to read music is with a "method book." There are online versions and hard copy versions of method books. My personal suggestion is a hard copy book. It will teach note reading and provide teaching pieces for you to practice. These books progress, adding more information and pieces for you to practice. As you learn to read music, you can simultaneously develop your finger technique with my lessons here. Best wishes with your piano practice!!

@@suzanneherman241thanks, any author name? Or any link if you wana share to buy that

@@desijugad5446 One method book series that is highly recommended is the "Adult Piano Adventures All-in-One Piano Course Book 1." There are several levels, and it includes theory. The composers are Faber and Faber. They have supplemental books, and they have method books for children too. You'll get a thorough education of note reading 🎹😊. Good luck!!

@@suzanneherman241 thanks dear

I think you should start the series “ how to read and play sheet music”

I'm very glad this lesson has been helpful! More exercises coming soon! 🎵🎹

I very much appreciate that! Thank you! 🙏🎶

You are welcome! 🎼😊

The Db major, Eb major, and Ab major arpeggios are all the same shape and therefore can have the same fingering. For instance, the Db major arpeggio would be 4th finger on Db, thumb on F, 2nd finger on Ab. A general guideline is to play the white note with the thumb when there two black notes in the arpeggio. For root position arpeggios with 3 black notes, the fingering generally would be 1, 2, 3. I hope that helps! 😊🎹

Thank you! I greatly appreciate that! 🎹

Thank you! 😊🎶

You are welcome...always trying to improve the teaching 🎵

Awesome! 🎼

That is very much appreciated! 😊

I very much appreciate that 🎵! Enjoy your piano practice 🎹

I'm truly glad this is helpful! 🎶

It is extremely important to be comfortable using multiple fingerings when playing the major chords. In this series, Exercise #4 - #6 demonstrates the root position chords using fingers 1, 2, 4. Exercise #7 - #9 demonstrates the practice method using fingers 1, 2, 3. As the series progresses, there are multiple fingerings applied to the first inversion and second inversion major chords as well. Best wishes for your piano practice 🎹

Thank you so much 🎶

Hi Cliff, Congratulations! You are on the right track! The concept to remember is that the dominant seventh chord occurs naturally in all major keys, on the fifth note of the scale (the dominant). The seventh of the dominant seventh chord (which is the seventh above the root of the chord) will always be in the key signature. For example, in the key of E major (with F#, C#, G#, D#), the dominant seventh chord, built on the fifth tone of the E major scale, will be B, D#, F#, A. All dominant seventh chords (remember, this happens naturally), will consist of a major triad and a minor seventh. This combination of a major triad and a minor seventh, only occurs on the fifth tone of the scale creating the V7 chord. You mentioned secondary dominants. I would like to suggest having a thorough understanding of dominant seventh chords before moving into secondary dominants. Understanding the naturally occurring dominant seventh chords will enable a much easier understanding of secondary dominants. I hope this helps! Great job!

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

I'm pleased you find this helpful!!

Thank you so much!!

I'm pleased you were able to recognize the circle of fifths through the information offered in this lesson. Theory is very inter-related and fits together like puzzle. Best wishes with your continued progress playing ukulele! 🎶

I'm pleased you find these exercises helpful! Applying all of these exercises to one scale each practice session, I feel, is best. Once you have reached your goal for a particular scale such as a faster tempo or more octaves (which may take several or numerous practice sessions), move on to the next scale. Do this until you have mastered all major scales and all three forms of each minor scale. This will also allow you to pursue a variety of technical exercises to practice in addition to scales, during each session, such as octaves, thirds, arpeggios, independence, stretching, etc. Best wishes on your piano endeavors!

Thank you so much!@@suzanneherman241

I very much appreciate that and I'm so happy these exercises are beneficial!!

You are so very welcome!

Thank you for your kind words! :)

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that! 🎵

I'm so glad you are learning to play the piano!! This exercise can definitely be challenging. Feel free to move your wrist to allow the thumb to gently stretch. For instance, when the right-hand thumb has trouble reaching under fingers 2 and 3, turn your wrist more to the right, giving your thumb more room to move under your hand. The left-hand wrist will move to more to the left. Be sure to remain gentle; don't over stretch. You will definitely be able to reach this goal little by little. I think one of the next tutorials I'll produce will be a wonderful preparatory exercise that specifically trains and isolates the thumb for moving under the fingers. Stay tuned; I think it will be very helpful. 🎵

Perfect! More tutorials coming! 🎶

Thank you! So glad this is helpful! 🎼😊
